Cornell Tech, Law School Launch New Degree Program

By ANNIE BUI Sun Managing Editor

Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School announced the creation of a new Master of Laws degree program on Tuesday, which will give current attorneys and graduates the skills to “ support and lead technology companies in the digital economy, ” according to the University

The one-year LLM degree in law, technology and entrepreneurship is full-time and will be offered at Cornell Tech in New York City, according to a University press release Officials say they expect students to begin enrolling in 2016 Classes will be taught at Cornell Tech’s temporary home in Chelsea until mid-2017, when the school moves to Roosevelt Island

As part of the academic model at Cornell Tech where “education and research are tied closely to creating and growing companies and products” students of the new program will have the opportunity to work their creative muscles through developing products and other solutions in response to “challenges posed by companies,” according to the release

Through this kind of work, students will confront realworld situations that can be found in the realms of entrepreneurship and business in the technology sector They will also gain the skills needed to navigate the “evolving environment around the digital economy ”

Dan Huttenlocher, dean of Cornell Tech, said in a statement that typical law programs have not been designed to address the evolving nature of the digital economy as well as its societal, policy and legal implications

“This groundbreaking LLM program is the first of its kind to give lawyers the tools to be entrepreneurial thinkers, supporting technology startups, product development and the fast-paced growth that is driving the economy, ”

Huttenlocher said Eduardo Peñalver ’94, dean of the law school, said that with today’s “rapid pace of innovation” in the tech sector, there exists a need for lawyers who are trained in law, technology and entrepreneurship

“The goal of the LLM will be to educate this new generation with the cutting-edge lawyering skills and the business acumen necessary to become first-class attorneys working at

Developer Breaks Ground on Dryden South

By MAXWELL DOPSCH Sun Contributor

The first layers of concrete for the Dryden South building will be poured Friday, and from there the project will “ start going up very quickly,” according to Patrick Kraft, developer of Dryden South and owner of Kraftees book store Located at 207 Dryden Rd , the first floor of Dryden South will be visible by Thanksgiving, Kraft said By the time Cornell students return from their break in January, the majority of the building’s framework is expected to be standing, with full completion slated for Aug 1, 2016 “Kraftees Collegetown

will be on the first floor, and all of the upper floors will be housing that was designed specifically to accommodate Cornell students,” Kraft said Floors two through five will contain four-bedroom suites, with two large penthouse suites on the sixth floor for a total of 40 beds, according to the Dryden South website Each suite will have two baths and be fully furnished Floor plans currently indicate that bedrooms will have 130-140 square feet of floor space and 9 5 ft ceilings Heat and hot water will also be included in the rent The basement will contain a fitness center, garbage facilities, bike storage and laundry

Although a number of leases have already been signed for the 2016-2017 academic year, Kraft said there are still rooms available “I feel that this building will have a city within a city feel Everything you will need to survive the school year will be there,” said Kraft in reference to the included amenities and the prod-

Jacox Ph.D.’56 Donates $1.5M to Arts and Sciences

Establishes new scholarship program to aid female undergraduates studying math, science

By PHOEBE KELLER Sun Assistant News Ed tor

The estate of Marilyn Jacox Ph D ’56, who died in 2013, has donated $1 5 million to the College of Arts and Sciences to fund a scholarship program for female undergraduates studying science and math

Jacox received her bachelor’s degree from Utica College of Syracuse University in 1951 and went on to complete her doctoral research at Cornell However, when she applied for a position at over 75 universities after graduation, Jacox found that opportunities were closed to her in a male-dominated field, according to the University

“Marilyn started her career during an extremely challenging time for female scientists, in a physical chemistry field, in which women were essentially absent,” said Gerald Fraser, chief of the Sensor Science Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

Undeterred by these obstacles, Jacox went on to become an internationally renowned leader in the field of molecular spectroscopy and enjoyed a long and successful career at the National Bureau of Standards, according to her obituary Her research has garnered many awards over the years and remains a valuable reference for scientists today

Yuan Pern Lee, of the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, said that when he worked with Jacox he was struck

by her dedication and attention to detail

“I was most impressed by her memory, ” he said “When we were discussing about a particular molecule, she always remembers what its vibrational frequencies are and who did what work and published in which journal ”

Lee also recalled Jacox encouraging young scientists at conferences, saying he was “deeply moved” to hear of her gift designed to assist female scientists at Cornell

“She won her technical arguments, not by the loudness of her voice, but by her careful experiments and analysis.”

“I remembered vividly that during the conferences she always talked to young female scientists and guide them to improve their research, give her tips to overcome the obstacles,” he said

Prof Lester Andrews, chemistry, University of Virginia, said he would always send Jacox his papers to revise because “she probably knew more than anyone else ” Fraser remembered Jacox as a dedicated worker, recount-

Student Union Demands

Divestment, Shared Governance

By BRIAN ENG Sun Staff Writer

The Cornell Independent Student Union demanded the University divest from fossil fuels and revitalize its governance system at the its rally in the Willard Straight Hall lobby Thursday

CISU promotional fliers distributed at the meeting shamed the trustees for their lack of action on the issue, “despite the fact that every shared governance body has voted in favor of divestment from fossil fuels

”

“ There was some hope from some [Trustees] that they would act in a compassionate way, ” said CISU organizer Alec Desbordes ’17 “However, we ’ ve been really disappointed ”

Last Friday, the Board of Trustees held an open session on the issue, during which community members urged the board to consider divestment

Desbordes said the Board of Trustees open session Friday was not indicative of an

ideological shift on the issue of fossil fuel divestment, but merely a way to prevent a disruptive demonstration

“Basically they don’t want to take responsibility,” Desbordes said “They just see themselves as the finance managers and supreme powers, which they are, of the University ” CISU aims to become the students’ collective bargaining agent and to “ create such de facto power, as opposed to de jure power, that we would be listened to, ” Desbordes said He said that enough student mobilization will prompt the administration to respond

Desbordes emphasized that greater student and public influence in the University’s governance would improve the University’s responsiveness to “issues at the forefront of student concern ” like the potential labor violations in Qatar and the University’s divestment from fossil fuels By holding “ an organizing rally to get people conscious,” Desbordes said CISU intends to “bring back a narrative of power for the students ”

ing a time when she tripped and broke her wrist, but appeared at work the next day as if nothing had happened He also pointed out that she continued to do research at NIST fulltime for nearly 20 years after her official retirement in 1996

“She succeeded by doing careful, high-quality work, by choosing important problems in physical chemistry and by maintaining a high-level of productivity throughout her career, ” he said “She won her technical arguments, not by the loudness of her voice, but by her careful experiments and analyses ”

Fraser said he believes Jacox saw the scholarship as a way to recognize the important role Cornell played in her career and encourage young female scientists engaged in similar ventures

“Marilyn well recognized the challenges that female scientists experience in choosing a career in science, and likely hoped that her scholarship might remove one of the impediments for success, ” he said

Prof Barbara Baird, chemistry, agreed, saying Jacox’s generous bequest to female undergraduate pursuing math and science shows that “this was her plan all along ”

“I think she pursued her career primarily for the rewards of doing good science that others could use and continue,”

See SCHOLARSHIP

When asked about the origin of this “narrative of power, ” Desbordes said student activism throughout history, such as the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s and 1970s, “really showed that if you have the organizing capacity and the will, you can change the university ” CISU organizer Joshua Yeh ’16 emphasized that student movements through history have been instrumental to change, including the anti-war demonstrations, the

clean air and water passage, civil rights movements and now anti-sweatshop movements

“Cornell is a beautiful place with amazing people, and it has so much potential,” Yeh said ”Criticism comes out of a point of love, and you have to care about a place to want to make it better ”

Plane Catches Fire At Florida Airport

DANIA BEACH, Fla (AP)

A jet plane’s engine caught fire

Thursday as it prepared for takeoff, and more than 100 passengers had to quickly evacuate using emergency slides One person was seriously injured, officials said Dozens of passengers could be seen in video footage gliding down the slides of the Dynamic Airways flight bound for Caracas, Venezuela Some ran away from the plane into the terminal at Fort

International Airport as fire crews rushed to put the blaze out

Andres Gallegos said he was

one of the first passengers to use the chutes to evacuate “I heard a loud bang I turned around, saw the lights, saw the flames and I ran to the front of the aircraft,” said Gallegos, who said it took about 30 seconds for the plane doors to open “It was pretty nerve-wracking, knowing that the door wasn ’ t opening and that something was on fire ” O

Father of Young Child Crushed by Tombstone Testi es

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) The father of a 4-year-old Utah boy who was crushed to death by a tombstone while taking pictures with his family testified Thursday that he turned from his camera to see his son looking at him as he lay trapped under the 250-pound stone

The case went to a jury after Zac Cheney took the stand at the end of the three-day trial in a lawsuit by the family alleging his son Carson died after the cemetery association allowed the stone to get dangerously weak with shoddy maintenance and failed to warn people about possible danger, including that headstones had fallen before

“He had his eyes open and he was looking at me, and he was just gasping, trying to breathe,” Cheney testified

The boy was caught between the headstone and footstone and died of a head injury

The Glenwood Cemeter y Association contends the cemeter y was well-maintained and the 1889 headstone was stable before the boy started playing on it on July 5, 2012

Cheney, his wife and two sons had come to the picturesque cemetery after a family friend asked Cheney to

take pictures amid their reunion at a nearby Park City, Utah, resort

Carson Cheney was trying to pop out from behind the tombstone to make other children smile for the camera, said the family’s lawyer, Ron Kramer The children were restless, so the boy’s mother had encouraged him to help by pretending to be a leprechaun, Kramer said

The cemetery opened in 1885 for silver miners and their families, but as the industry faded, it fell into disrepair The association restored the cemetery and welcomed the public, including school groups that did rubbings on gravestones, Kramer said

Carson’s family says steel dowels that attached Michael Horan’s headstone to its base rusted out over the years, and it was repaired with construction adhesive They are seeking between $2 million and $4 million in damages

The association denies fixing the stone Attorney Paul Belnap said the Horan family and volunteers had been making regular inspections in the months before the boy’s death and as recently as two days before They did not find any outward problems with the stone, he said

Minn. Man Suspected In 1989 Kidnapping

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A Minnesota man charged with child pornography after a search of his home found pictures of naked boys is also a “ person of interest” in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling, whose 1989 abduction led his parents to launch a national center to prevent child exploitation

Daniel James Heinrich, 52, was charged Thursday with five counts of possessing or receiving child pornography Richard Thornton, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis office, said Heinrich is a person of interest in Wetterling’s abduction, but he has not been charged in that case

Thornton told a news conference that Heinrich was originally looked at after Wetterling’s abduction and again when investigators reviewed the cold case Wetterling was 11 when he was abducted on Oct 22, 1989, near his home in the central Minnesota community of St Joseph

“ The defendant has denied any involvement in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling,” U S Attorney Andy Luger said Authorities stopped short of calling Heinrich a suspect

It wasn ’ t immediately clear if Heinrich had an attorney who could comment on his behalf

The federal defender’s office in Minneapolis did not have Heinrich in its system Heinrich who lives in Annandale less than two blocks from a middle school was in custody

Thursday A number listed for a possible brother did not work

The disappearance of Wetterling led his mother, Patty Wetterling, to become a nationally recognized advocate for missing children She and her husband, Jerr y, founded the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, which works to help communities and families prevent child exploitation

“The search for Jacob is an ongoing investigation and we will watch and learn like ever yone else,” the boy’s parents said in a statement Thursday FBI agent Thornton said that

as part of their review of the Wetterling case, investigators used new forensic technology to analyze DNA on clothing worn by a young boy who was kidnapped and sexually assaulted in the same county about nine months before Wetterling’s abduction The DNA was a match to Heinrich, Thornton said That and other evidence led authorities to search Heinrich’s home July 28

Heinrich was not charged in that sexual assault because the statute of limitations expired, Luger said Cour t documents show he was arrested in that case back in 1990, but was released without charges

The application for a search warrant shows authorities went to Heinrich’s home last summer seeking “Jacob Erwin Wetterling Alive or any human remains ” They were also seeking items including a red T-shirt with the name Wetterling on the back and a red hockey team jacket with the name Jacob on the front Luger said child pornography found in the search led to Thursday’s charges

Luger said authorities seized items including 19 3-ring binders that contained pictures of naked boys Some of the boys were known victims of sexual exploitation but there were no pictures of Wetterling Authorities also found videotapes of boys carrying out routine activities such as delivering newspapers or riding bikes

Some of that material was shot with a hidden camera, Luger said Jacob Wetterling was riding his bicycle with a brother and a friend when a masked gunman abducted him The case has remained in the public eye over the past 26 years as names of potential suspects surfaced and faded The family periodically released updated pictures, showing what Wetterling might look like as an adult

The criminal complaint says that in 1990, Heinrich gave his shoes and car tires to investigators They found the items were “consistent” with tracks left in a gravel driveway near the site of Wetterling’s abduction, but couldn’t be ruled an exact match

Engineer James McCullough testified that the headstone was stable because it withstood winds of about 50 mph

“It if was that close to tipping, the wind could easily have tipped it over, ” he said

The cemetery was closed for six weeks after the boy’s death, and when it reopened, the association posted signs asking people not to touch the headstones and to stay on footpaths

There have been other cases of injuries and deaths from a falling tombstone in recent years

In June 2012, the month before Carson’s death, a 4year-old North Carolina girl was killed when a massive cross fell off a tombstone as she played before Bible study class

The following year, a cemetery worker in Texas died after a tombstone weighing about a ton fell on him in Edinburg

In May, a 4-year-old boy in Odessa, Texas, died after a tombstone fell on him while he was visiting a cemetery with his family

Trump Reels in Debate Aftermath

Polls show Carson ahead of Trump in primary race

SPARKS, Nev (AP) Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump emerged Thursday from a debate in which he appeared to take a back seat to his rivals by lashing out at the media as he continues to adjust to a race in which he is no longer the undisputed front-runner

Trump told more than 3,000 supporters at a rally at the Nugget hotel-casino in Sparks, Nevada, that he was pleased with his lower-key performance during the third GOP debate in Boulder, Colorado, even if the “crooked people in the press ” won ’ t give him credit

“Last night, all of the polls every single one of ’ em said I won, ” Trump bragged, referring to online questionnaires taken during and after the debate

The “polls” Trump referred to are not scientific surveys of a representative sample of Americans, but reader polls of a self-selected group of respondents who often have opinions very different from those of the general public

Trump’s performance Wednesday evening was a departure from the first two Republican debates

The billionaire businessman and real estate developer took a less dominating role, allowing rivals like Texas Sen Ted Cruz and Florida Sen Marco Rubio to take the spotlight

Speaking Thursday afternoon, Trump took credit for predicting that tension between Rubio and his former mentor, former Florida Gov Jeb Bush, would spill out into the open, but was otherwise largely complimentary of his rivals

He said he thought Cruz and Rubio had done

well in the face of tough questions and thanked former Arkansas Gov Mike Huckabee for defending him when asked whether he thought Trump had the moral authority to be president

“I really appreciated Mike Huckabee for, you know, sticking up for me, ” Trump said “He’s a good man ”

He also noted how well he and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson have been getting along, laughing and winking at each other on stage, despite the fact that Carson has surpassed Trump’s lead in some polls

Trump’s harshest words were reserved for the media, drawing cheers and applause

Trump said he’d come to expect ill treatment from a biased press and therefore wasn ’ t as angry as some of the other candidates or the Republican National Committee about CNBC’s handling of the debate

“I’ve become immune to it,” he said “Honestly, I’ve seen things that are so bad with the press ”

He took particular issue with having been described as begging Iowa voters for support during a rally earlier this week

“The last thing I am is a beggar, OK?” he said “It’s just not me ”

Audience member Paul Munding, a retired veteran who recently moved to Reno from San Jose, California, said he first thought Trump’s candidacy was a “ waste of time” but had since come around

“I think the more people hear him, they start to realize what he is saying makes sense, ” he said

Another Guantanamo Inmate Released

MIAMI (AP) Another prisoner has been released from the detention center on the U S military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Pentagon said Thursday

Ahmed Abdel Aziz was sent back to his native Mauritania after 13 years in custody at Guantanamo He is the 14th prisoner released this year amid a continuing standoff between President Barack Obama and Congress over Obama’s attempt to close the detention center

Aziz was initially detained as a suspected member of al-Qaida with ties to some of the most senior members of the terrorist organization

He was captured by Pakistani authorities at a suspected alQaida safe house and turned over to the U S He was never charged with a crime

His lawyer, Clive Stafford

Smith of the human rights group Reprieve, said the release was long overdue and the U S owes an apology to the 45-year-old Aziz

The former prisoner has a wife and son in Mauritania and immediately reunited with them upon arrival in the North African country Aziz plans to work at a newspaper owned by his brother-inlaw, the lawyer said

“While it’s great that Ahmed is home with his family, it’s 14 years late, and long after he was cleared,” Smith said “His release was only delayed because he, an innocent man, routinely protested his mistreatment “

The Pentagon said in a statement that Aziz’s release came after a “comprehensive review of his case ” and after Defense Secretary Ash Carter ensured it was in compliance with standards set by Congress “The United States is grateful to the government of

Mauritania for its willingness to support ongoing U S efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility,” it said

There are now 113 prisoners at Guantanamo, including 53 who have been cleared for release or transfer

Congress has thwarted the Obama administration’s effort to close the prison with a ban on transferring prisoners to the U S and restrictions on sending them abroad White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the president remains committed to closing the prison Earnest did not rule out the president eventually issuing an executive order to hasten the prison’s closure, saying Obab has made clear his willingness to use his executive authorities to make progress on key priorities, and “this would certainly be one of his priorities ”

Governments Gather to Discuss Syrian Unrest

VIENNA (AP) The success or failure of the Syrian peace talks this week is tied to the fate of one man who’s not even at the table: President Bashar Assad

Neither Assad nor any of his representatives are in Vienna, where U S Secretary of State John Kerry and senior diplomats from almost 20 other countries began negotiations Thursday But his future is at the heart of all the talks

The broad group of governments an unprecedented collection of countries on the Syria issue is looking for a plan that might convince Syria’s government and its Western-backed rebels to agree to a national cease-fire and start a long process of “political transition ”

Even bitter foes Iran and Saudi Arabia will be sitting at one table along with their powerful partners, Russia and the United States That reflects the urgency all parties say they’re attaching to finding a peace formula

It’s mostly about Assad

Since the start of Syria's unrest four years ago, his future has been a stumbling block to all efforts aimed at ending the fighting President Barack Obama demanded that Assad leave power in 2011 Russia resisted the push by blocking attempts at the United Nations to pressure the Syrian leader and insisting that any new government only be established by mutual consent of both the government and the opposition That essentially gave Assad veto power over his own would-be replacements

The United States and its Arab and European allies have since tempered their calls, suggesting that Assad can remain in office for months as part of the transition if he agrees to resign at the end of the process But even that softened demand has been too much for Russia and Iran, who are both engaged militarily alongside Assad’s forces, fighting rebels supported by the Saudis and the Americans And neither of the Syrian sides has suggested they would support

such a plan

In Vienna, Kerry is being joined by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and counterparts from other nations, all hoping to get past disagreements that have held back international mediation efforts over the conflict's four-and-a-half years More than 250,000 people have been killed and more than 11 million people half the country ' s population have been uprooted from their homes The war has led to the rise of the Islamic State and sparked a refugee crisis that has deeply unnerved much of Europe

“We’ve a lot of very important meetings We’ll see what happens,” Kerry said as he kicked off his first session, with Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz Kerry then met with the U N envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, his key counterpart in a seven-nation nuclear deal wrapped up in July

He later met with the foreign ministers of Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey before bigger talks on Friday

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Wednesday that Assad must step down “within a specific timeframe,” though he didn't elaborate That unleashed bitter recriminations from Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi, who called al-Jubeir a “ tumor ”

Given their differences, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini played up the significance of the meeting

“It is very important that tomorrow, here in Vienna, we’ll have all the relevant actors both regionally and internationally around the same table trying to define a common space for the beginning of a political process, ” she told reporters after meeting Zarif

Even if the countries do reach an agreement on Assad it won ’ t solve everything Syrians of all stripes will have to figure out how to stop the violence between the army and the many different militant groups and how to share power in a government comprised of such fierce enemies

Boat Carrying Hundreds of Refugees Capsizes

LESBOS, Greece (AP) An autumn chill had set in and winds were blowing at 30 miles per hour (50 kph) when the wooden boat, packed with families from Syria and Iraq, set out on the short crossing from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos and the promise of a new life in Europe

Partway across, it capsized, triggering a scene of panic, confusion and compassion in a dramatic rescue recorded on video from a boat involved in the operation

A Greek Coast Guard vessel sped to the site of the latest migrant catastrophe on Europe’s doorstep So did an array of volunteers, including Spanish lifeguards and Turkish fishermen, who crammed dozens of distraught people onto the decks of their small boats

People bobbing in the water the lucky

ones in lifejackets were hauled aboard fishing boats where they huddled, shaking and sobbing It was too late for one man, pale and cold, who was placed gently into a black body bag Several other corpses bobbed in the water

Spanish lifeguards, who had left the beaches of Barcelona to help save refugee lives in Greece, dragged people from the water onto the backs of jet-skis

The Greek Coast Guard said 242 people were rescued in the operation Wednesday night, including at least 18 children At least seven people died, and more than 30 are miss-

ing

As the rescue boats arrived in the port town of Molyvos, paramedics and local volunteers raced to treat the shocked, chilled survivors Among them were children, some

scarcely more than babies, bundled up by their parents for a perilous journey

As one boat docked, a medic scooped a small child in his arms and rushed ashore

Another man looked urgently for signs of life in a limp, dark-haired toddler wearing a colorful striped top Doctors struggled to revive several unconscious children; it was unclear whether any had died

Men and women wrapped in thermal blankets sobbed, with shock or relief, as they limped ashore

As dawn broke, the sea looked deceptively calm and blue Blanket-wrapped survivors sat in a quayside square scattered with discarded shoes, boxes of clothes and a mound of orange lifejackets In a nearby chapel, medics tended to the many suffering from shock or hypothermia

Guang, the father of

8-year-old son, said he and his wife already were considering whether to have a second child, even though the cost was daunting Wei said food, clothes, nan-

BY GWEN AVILES Sun Staff Writer

You know I’m not horsing around when I say that Cornell alums go on to do big things But did you know that Noel Bright ’94, the executive producer of BoJack Horseman, and Keith Olbermann ’79, voice of Tom Jumbo-Grumbo on BoJack and renowned broadcaster, once walked on the ver y same slush-covered steps and studied in the exact dungeon-like stacks as you?

For those of you who don’t know, BoJack Horseman is arguably the best show in the world right now

A Ne t f l i x o

B o Ja

b

n

c a l l y acclaimed for its hilarious and tragic depiction of life through the lens of its main charac-

t e r, a t a l k i n

h o r s e (voiced by Will Arnett) BoJack is a washed-up television star who got his start on the fictit i o u s ’ 9 0 s s i t c o m Horsin Around Now, 15 years later, embittered and as irrelevant as Aaron Carter, he is simply tr ying to find his place in the world I do not hesitate to say I am BoJack and you are BoJack: people (or horses) tr ying to find our ways with a lot of self-sabotage in the process

N OE L B R I G H T: I’m one of the executive producers that runs the show with other producers here [in] L A I’ve been with the show since the beginning, which is actually how I met Keith

K E I T H O L BE R M A N N : I’m the voice of Tom JumboGrumbo, who’s a news anchor at MSNBSea on the show, and what was special about this project was that for once I was not playing me [ ] although parts of the character do come from me It’s my voice, but it’s not me on camera

S U N : The executive producers of television shows

But BoJack Horseman is more than the uproarious stor y of its eponymous character; it is also a critique of o u r c u r re n t w o r l d , i n c l u d i n g o u r o b s e s s i o n w i t h Hollywood, our glorification of celebrities and our undermining of mental illness While I wait in endless anticipation for season three of BoJack to arrive, Noel Bright and Keith Olbermann were kind enough to provide me with some answers to tide me over

T H E S U N : What exactly do your roles working on BoJack Horseman entail?

o f t e n d e a l w i t h legal issues Since BoJack pokes fun at so many different celebrities and p u b l i c o c c u rre n c e s , h a s t h e show received any t h re a t s o f l e g a l backlash so far?

N B : The easy a n s w e r i s t h a t there’s a difference between directing a stor y at a specifi c p e r

t o p i c W h a t w e aim to do is speak on the topic We’re not out to pick fights with anybody What BoJack is able to do as a comedian is point to the absurdity in our society and challenge you as a viewer as to why you hold certain opinions We make fun of the glorification of celebrity that might make some people uncomfortable, but we have the ability to be forgiven by not pointing to any one person specifically

S U N : How has your time at Cornell shaped you in terms of your careers and your personal growth?

K O : The greatest thing about Cornell was that when I attended, the communications arts program was not really well tended to, so we had a lot of spare time We took classes in other departments, but the spare time allowed me to spend more time at WVBR WVBR gave

me hands-on daily experience doing broadcasting where there was money on the line because we sold commercials In terms of the Cornell community, you must learn how to budget your time to last a week, to last a day You have to pick what you ’ re going to get away with not doing and learn how to cut corners No place in my life has come close to WVBR It made me employable and gave me the ability to do some news Nothing that I have encountered in my career I didn’t first encounter at WVBR and Cornell

N B : First of all, I’d say it taught me to open my eyes a little bit to the world mostly through the classes I took and the people around me I was an ILR major, which taught me to look at the world through a specific lens and tr y to understand organizational behavior Just because a corporation exists doesn’t mean it’s good Cornell taught me you can do whatever you want to do Cornell brings things together and brings the right people together in the same way I then learned starting a TV show and starting a business were the same thing For both, you have to put all the right people around you Cornell taught me to be open-minded and my time there inspired me to drive out to L A for my first job

S U N : Do you have any advice for Cornell students looking to get involved in media?

N B : The piece of advice I have for Cornell students is to decide as early as you can what you want to do and where you want to be and don’t lose sight of that Be vocal about it if you want it badly, and you can achieve it Secondly, be prepared to be slightly diverted Nothing is really in your control I think your career is a mix of your ambition, your personality and the circumstances in your life Push as hard as you can and that will typically work out

K O : If your dart hits the dartboard that’s actually a terrific accomplishment, and doable given how big the world is My advice is that you cannot have too many diverse skills Last time I saw Jonathan Rubinstein ’78, who basically invented the iPod, he was rebuilding headphones [ ] on Linden Ave Jay Walker ’78 invented Priceline To do things like that you have to have amazing skills that apply to mechanical changes You have to be capable of doing more than one thing

A small village covered deep in snow sits in a valley by the side of a rocky mountain In the back, people carr ying ladders climb the roof of a house to reach its blazing chimney At the center, on a frozen river, three kids skate in formation, others run with hockey sticks and a larger group is curling A woman pulls another in a sledge and a third one is

s e e n c r o s s i n g a bridge with a bundle of sticks on her back Closer to the left, a sign in a brick building hangs half unhinged Below it, a g ro u p o f a d u l t s tend to a fire while a kid watches In the corner, on the foref r o n t , w e f i n a l l y reach our subjects,

t h re e h u n t e r s a n d their dogs, back for the day, seemingly tired and with no game on their bags

The painting, after all, is titled “Hunters in the Snow ”

of a bird, possibly a pigeon, laying quietly on a tree right in the middle of the scener y That sight caught the attention of Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson, who named his latest movie A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on

But it’s not due to a lack of attention that our eyes are not immediately drawn to these men Pieter Brueghel, the Elder, knew exactly how to hide his subjects in plain sight and use the extent of his canvas (or rather panel, since he painted mostly on wood) to cast as many characters and to tell as many stories as he could, showing a distinctive preference for peasants, their traditions and beliefs, but mostly their daily lives

Another inconspicuous figure in that painting is that

TExistence (which screens Su n d a y a t C o r n e l l Cinema) Now, the reference is not a gratuitous one for the similarities between the technique employed and the effect accomplished by the contemporar y director is not too distant from that of the old Dutch master

Pigeon starts with a section called “ Three Encounters with Death ” A still camera captures each scene without any interference as we see some ver y human situations unfold, but always with a sense of absurdity and a tinge

of black humor evident not only in the deadpan performance of the actors but also the theatrical scener y and the per vading score These set the tone for the following few dozen scenes, each one a single shot or tableau that together ends up constituting a panoramic view of the human condition

Even though there isn’t a clear sequence of events, we do get a few recurring characters, and some situations show continuity and even resolution as we go back and forth between them A couple of travelling salesmen ser ve as the lead for the drama, two sad clowns straight out of a Beckett play that could ver y well have been named Vladimir and Estragon They don’t exactly wait for Godot, however, but travel around selling “funny” articles like vampire teeth and laughing bags, while living uneventful, miserable lives

In a modern diner, meanwhile, the patrons are surprised by the arrival of 18th centur y Swedish king Charles XII, a young, feeble man riding a horse into the establishment with a group of aides on the way to a war with the Russians and who suddenly seems infatuated with the restaurant ’ s waiter

The last film in a trilogy at which Andersson has worked for some 20 years (Songs from the Second Floor and You, the Living c o m p l e t e

stands, with its philosophical yet absurdist approach to stor ytelling and to life itself, in a unique position in today’s cinema, with more ties to the heyday of European filmmaking (think Bergman, Fellini) than to any contemporar y counterpart While painting the ordinar y lives of random characters, Pigeon finds an original stance from which to make the audience laugh and ponder, much like the pigeon from the Brueghel panel

Drake, the Culture Vulture?

No one in music has had a bigger year so far than Canadian rapper Drake With two number-one albums this year alone and a third expected to drop in the coming months, Drake may very well be having one of the most successful years in music history However, with success comes criticism, which Drake is all too familiar with Houston rapper Sauce Walka is one of the many rappers to be critical of Drake Among other things, Sauce Walka claims that Drake appropriates different cultures’ music to benefit himself, and gives very little back to those individual musical cultures For Sauce Walka, this means Drake has appropriated Houston rap culture’s stylistic variety and lyrical nuance, while only collaborating with mainstream Houston artists, such as Bun B, Travi$ Scott and Beyoncé

Drake a culture vulture?

By now, we ’ ve all probably seen Drake’s “Hotline Bling” music video Everyone has also seen the myriad of memes poking fun at Drake’s corny dance moves However, the video itself featured a very clear influence from artist James Turrell in its use of colored light in a large, blank space Drake has very openly admitted to drawing inspiration from Turrell’s work In 2014 after visiting

neither I nor any of my woes was involved in any way in the making of the ‘Hotline Bling’ video ” While it’s hilarious that the 72-yearold Turrell would quote one of Drake’s songs, the question remains, is Drake a culture vulture?

It’s clear Drake takes aspects of different cultures and uses them in a self-serving manner As a native Houstonian and an art history major, a part of me is sort of uncom-

By now, we’ve all probably seen Drake’s “Hotline Bling” music video. Everyone has also seen the myriad of meme poking fun at Drake’s corny dance moves However, the v itself featured a very clear influence from artist James Turrell in its use of colored light in a large, blank space.

With constant references to dirty sprite and the Underground Kingz, there’s no denying Drake’s pervasive use of Houston culture Drake even began Houston Appreciation Week, a weeklong celebration of all things associated with Houston rap However, Drake came under fire for HAW ’ s lack of representation from Houston rappers in the lineup The question remains, is

Turrell’s retrospective at the LACMA, the rapper posted several photos of himself standing in Turrell’s installation, with the caption “Turrell x OVO,” a reference to his record label, October’s Very Own Turrell didn’t seem to mind Drake drawing from his work and even put out a statement in which he claimed, “While I am truly flattered to learn that Drake fucks with me, I nevertheless wish to make clear that

neither of whom are totally relevant outside of Houston circles anyway Bun B hasn’t put out any heat since Pimp C passed and he seems just fine with Drake using Houston culture to his advantage

The art world, probably at the peak of commerciality right now, is in a similar boat

With a number of artistic collaborations with rappers, such as Kehinde Wiley and Santigold, the art world seems more open to cross cultural collaboration than ever before Drake even curated a music playlist for an exhibition at Sotheby’s last year It seems Turrell really didn’t care that Drake used some of his most introspective work as a dance background, so honestly, why should we?

fortable with this idea Then again, I’m not totally sure what else to expect In what way can Drake really benefit Houston rap or the art world? It seems he has done some good for both communities just by transferring his own hype onto them

If not for Drake, who would care about Houston rap anymore? The biggest names the Houston rap community boasts nowadays are probably Kirko Bangz and Z-Ro,

David Roy grad | What’s Up, Doc?

It’s easy to hate Drake The guy really can do no wrong Even when people criticize him for his corny dance moves, bandwagon sports fandom and rumors of using a ghostwriter, Drake emerges unblemished and on top Maybe we should all take a step back, put some Drake on shuffle, and softly whisper to ourselves, “What a time to be alive ”

Personalized Medicine in the Genomics Era

“Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease ” William

Medicine

Osler

is frequently described as both art and science, a delicate balance of intrinsic and learned creativity accompanied by mechanistic understanding of pathology The “ art ” encompasses the more subjective elements of doctoring, mainly the ability to understand the patient and their illness via the medical history In contrast, the “science” is grounded in objective investigation, usually through research studies that make statistically valid conclusions about groups of individuals as a whole Due to the plethora of traits unique to each patient both physical and psychosocial the clinician is required to interpret the evidence-based guidelines and tailor their recommendation appropriately

Recently, the new Omics era has forced an irreversible shift in favor of science, allowing the complete capture of individual biologic variation Omics is a neologism that refers to the study of proteomics, metabolomics and genomics, the latter of which is now primed to transform medical practice

The power of genomics as a medical modality is derived more from its comprehensiveness than true biological novelty In fact, it was almost 200 years ago when Charles Darwin first proposed that heritable traits could be passed on to offspring the underlying structure of this heritable DNA “code” was later characterized by Watson and Crick in 1953 Through advances in DNA sequencing and genetic engineering, many molecular determinants of disease were identified beginning in the 1970s, giving rise to personalized medicine via genetic testing

The ability to identify disease-causing mutations forced drastic changes in medical decision-making For example, genetic testing allows the identification of patients with degenerative disease (e g Huntington’s Disease), increased risk for cancer (e g BRCA1 mutation in breast cancer) and those with high-risk pregnancies (e g cystic fibrosis), all before any signs of illness manifest

This actionable information can lead to earlier screening, improved therapy and better outcomes

The limitations of genetic testing were already apparent decades ago, however In fact, many hallmark genetic mutations represented only the tip of the iceberg For example, BRCA1-associated breast cancer comprises only 10 percent of all new cases and even these patients were noted to have considerable variation in outcomes Therefore, undiscovered genetic factors likely explained this clinical diversity Unfortunately, the vast majority of all 22,000 genes in the human genome were still uncharacterized by 1990 Without a catalogue of human genes and their role in disease, progress was predicted to slow or even plateau

In order to jumpstart new discoveries into genetic underpinnings of disease, the Human Genome Project was formed

This massive undertaking successfully sequenced and mapped ever y gene in the human genome by the year 2003

technologies such as next-generation whole exome/genome sequencing, DNA methylation chips and gene expression profiling allow the exhaustive characterization of all molecular features in individuals Improved processing power and novel computational algorithms further facilitate the objective understanding of biological processes linked to disease

For the first time ever, researchers and doctors can be presented with a comprehensive snapshot of the unique molecular features within a patient and make medical recommendations that are personalized and

upfront, and only those patients who benefit will be placed on this costly and occasionally toxic medication

The unbiased, exhaustive power behind genomics cannot be overstated The ability to find all molecular alterations in a patient can better characterize the illness both within and outside of the disease in question In 2012, the New York Times profiled a cancer researcher that discovered a rare FLT3 alteration in his leukemia cells through next-generation sequencing, allowing the use of an anti-FLT3 drug already in use for kidney cancer

For the first time ever, researchers and doctors can now be presented with a comprehensive snapshot of the unique molecular features within a patient and make medical recommendations that are personalized and unique

These data quickly allowed researchers to identify new gene mutations and even design therapies to target specific mutant proteins

As the puzzle pieces linking genetics to disease were being assembled, two significant challenges remained First, with traditional genetic testing, only a single gene or small gene “panels” can be tested, due to cost and time limitations Therefore, clinical suspicion is usually a prerequisite to genetic testing Unfortunately, chasing genetic mutations in a patient whether ill or healthy is highly subjective, inefficient, and prone to missing key “driver(s)” of disease Second, since most diseases likely result from multiple genetic alterations acting in concert, traditional approaches have been limited in deconstructing the combinatorial nature of genetic-driven illness In the past 10 years, genomics has helped tackle these obstacles

Genomics is a new field that aims to understand associations between disease and the genome (i e all of our genes), facilitated through innovation in both high-throughput biological platforms and computers New

unique For example, early stage breast cancer patients can now be tested via Oncotype DXTM, a tool which informs whether a patient is high-risk and requires chemotherapy Across cancer, a new test called MSKIMPACTTM is being used to screen for specific gene mutations that are responsive to FDA-approved targeted therapies, such as small molecule inhibitors

Genomics has even allowed us to exploit genetic alterations that are not even causative or linked to the disease itself For example, immunotherapy has been recently used to stimulate the body’s immune system to eradicate cancer cells, which are generally perceived as non-self or “foreign ” Unfortunately, many patients do not respond and eventually relapse Exciting research in the past year has used next-generation DNA sequencing to identify mutations in otherwise benign genes that act as neoantigens, which are essential for immunotherapy’s effectiveness Now, response to this therapy can be predicted

Remarkably, genomics is not limited to the clinic or research lab Perhaps most notable is 23andMe, a company that offers independent genomics-based testing for only $99 Their report can be used in conjunction with online tools to determine future risk of many diseases, a controversial subject since there is no medical counseling provided to interpret the findings As an added bonus, the test also reports one ’ s relative ethnic heritage and distant relatives who have also paid for the service

As with the advent of genetic testing, genomics represents only the beginning of a new era in medical innovation and patient-centric medicine Advanced technologies continue to enter the market, including an exciting portable USB-based s

MinIONTM Of course, clinicians will a

details of the patient’s medical histor y as well as other relevant non-physical details (e g social support networks, ability to pay, safety at home) Regardless, the value of genomics in enabling bona fide personalized medicine is indisputable Treating the individual, not just the disease, is now more objective and better than ever

It’s another week for Cornell football and another matchup against a fast-paced offense The Red has played four straight offenses that primarily play nohuddle, and each time, the team has given up at least 28 points With a matchup against Princeton looming, the defense gets yet another challenging, complicated offense to go up against

“It’s definitely challenging going against a fast pace attack,” junior linebacker Jackson Webber said “Your mind is racing, your body is getting tired It comes down to just knowing your assignments and being able to focus for that five to seven seconds that a play is going to last ”

After last week’s comeback against Brown fell short, the Red (0-6, 0-3 Ivy) travels to Princeton (4-3, 1-2) still in search of its first win Webber said the team has continued to try not to focus on the record

“It’s frustrating, but we keep a positive mindset coming in everyday,” Webber said “All [we] can really do is control how hard we work, and hopefully that translates to victories on the field We’re coming in with a good mindset every day, trying to get better and get things done ” Princeton’s offense comes in averaging over 30 points per game and has put up over 40 points per game three times this season, including a 52-point outburst against Lehigh With an offense that occasionally will play multiple quarterbacks, Princeton can force teams into uncharacteristic errors

“It’s a gamble on their part for sure, ” Archer said about Princeton’s offense “They can ’ t guarantee the look they’re going to get and so they could put out a certain formation, and we could, with a certain defense, stop the exact play they’re looking for But their philosophy is to run as many plays as they can, and they feel like if one of their plays doesn’t work, it’s alright, they’ll get you on the next one ” On the offensive side of the ball, senior running back Luke Hagy has been practicing for the Red Hagy, who left at the beginning of the Sacred Heart game two weeks ago due to a head injury, should benefit from an offensive line that really began to click last week against Brown In Hagy’s absence, a platoon of running backs combined for 260 rushing yards

“All [we] can really do is control how hard we work, and hopefully that translates into victories ”

“They try to create confusion with trick plays,” said head coach David Archer ’05 “They like to be very creative, so it’s unique in the league no one else is really like them so you got to make sure you ’ re prepared ”

In practice this week, Archer said the offense has tried to give the defense as many formations as possible in order to properly prepare for the clash against the Tigers Archer said he hopes that if the team can properly decipher what Princeton is going to run, then the Red should be in a good place to stop the Tigers

“I saw a great performance,” Archer said when asked about the offensive line’s performance last week “Zach Wilk, Dan Morin, Alex Emmanuels, John Foster and Dan Cunningham I saw those guys really open up some holes I saw them blocking downfield I saw them pancaking the Brown kids You’re starting to see them come together and what they can do and what coach Istvan has been doing with them, not only as the offensive line coach but as the offensive coordinator ” Wilk, the senior right tackle, said the offensive line is the best he’s played on since his freshman year when J C Tretter ’13, now with the Green Bay Packers, was also on the line As a senior, Wilk admits the losses are tough, but, with four games left, he remains hopeful that his senior class can make a difference

“Looking at the season now, we obviously can only salvage four more wins if we ’ re perfect,” Wilk said “So it’s nice to know that we can help the program going forward and leave it with a little momentum going into next season ”

Cornell Goes on the Road

To Take on Princeton Tigers

By JACK KANTOR Sun Staff Writer

The pressure is on for Princeton With a win this Saturday, Cornell women ’ s soccer can spoil Princeton’s chance to clinch the Ivy league title while tacking on another win to the already successful season for the Red

However, the Princeton Tigers (12-3, 50 Ivy) have not lost since Sept 13 of this season and are on an absolute tear The Tigers have won 10 straight matches, two of which were decided in overtime

“All of that is in the past and didn’t have to do with us, ” said head coach Patrick Farmer

Princeton is a squad that can really score with its quick and intense attack, averaging a solid 2 67 goals per game this season

“They are certainly a little more mobile

We are more pass-oriented [Princeton] is a little more penetration-oriented,” Farmer said

Cornell is averaging just above one goal per match Nonetheless, the Red is holding its opponents to under an astounding half a goal per game The question this weekend will be if the team ’ s stout defense can hold off the Tiger’s dangerous attack, while hopefully punching in a goal or two

History would say Princeton has the upper hand in this matchup; Cornell has only beat the Tigers seven times since they

starting playing back in 1982 However, the Red played the Tigers tough last year in a close 1-2 loss This is a new year and a new team for both sides This matchup leans towards Princeton, but could go either way

According to Farmer, the team has spent the first half of the week focusing on its own game The Red is looking to keep up fast paced play while working on sustaining possession, preferably in the opponent ’ s half Farmer said the team, “looked quick, lively and fast,” in the training session on Monday

Princeton tends to take an approach that emphasizes possession less, but instead focuses on simply attacking with pressure and moving the ball around the field quickly Farmer said he believes the team needs to “play faster, be a little more physical, be a little more proactive and creative in [oneon-one and two-on-two] situations ”

After a break on Wednesday, the team has focused on its play against Princeton, specifically “Princeton has two of the top three scorers in the league,” Farmer said “We talked to [the players] about where those two play and how we will deal with that We won ’ t change a lot, to be honest ”

Farmer said the Tigers are a different team than what Cornell faced last year

“Princeton lost a ver y good senior attacker, but they added a great freshman attacker,” he said “They a new coach; they

are a little bit different, a little bit more direct They are in the top five scoring teams in the country ”

The Ivy League leaders in both goals and assists are Princeton players Tyler Lussi and Lauren Lazo, respectively While defense has been the Red’s strength this season, Cornell will need to be at the top of its game defensively to stay in the match

The Red will not win this matchup by

outscoring the Tigers, but by keeping the goals down to a minimum If Cornell can out-possess Princeton and keep the ball in the Tigers’ half, then the Red may be able to chalk in another win and spoil Princeton’s hopes of an Ivy League Championship
